Come on Liban, u can't be that harsh.

so back to the topic.

I have noticed a really bad habit with most people who live in Dubai. Is stereotyping. I know this is not only a Dubai problem but a world wide issue. But i feel like its worse here.

Has anyone experienced that ? share your expereinces

ya seriously ross if you are dont generalize. I surely can look to a person without considering his race/religion/color .. just because you are doesnt make everyone

Yeah right whatever!

I just have an aversion to really, really fat people - nobody forced them to eat the burger - eeewwwww.

I wish it could be that easy but the fact is anywhere you go, specially in a foreign country (such as this one!) you can feel "ex: at work" that somehow you are better or lesser than that "other group" of people because of what they can do or cant do (due to their culture w/c is different from your own). Again it could be shown in any form but the fact remains that if you do think less or more of that person you are considered a racist! unless you both have the same color/nationality of course!

I know I know it is hard to accept these statements but we all are..

ofcourse a person will always assess people and look up or down to them its just human nature. BUT its the criteria that matters. professionaly for example if you look up to Bob because he does such a great job. and you look down on Alice because she is a slacker. Thats perfectly fine ! but if you look down on Bob because he is indian , and respect Alice because she is caucasian THATS racsim.

ofcourse racism and stereotyping are easier for the lazy/stupid/idiotic mind since it makes the criteria much easier and faster to be determined.

and my point was well taken!

But they taste so damn good

Yeah but dude, have you seen what happens when an overly large person loses all that weight - flabby, hanging skin.

It all has to be surgically cut off, now that's just nasty and people don't realise it.
